    I just ordered an M15x tonight and then I saw the ad on alienwares homescreen that you get a dell mini 10 for $99 dollars when buying certain laptops/desktops. The M15x happens to be one of them! I placed my order earlier today and its "In production". Will alienware grant me the $99 mini if I call them tomorrow and tell them I didnt see the ad?

    I could def use it. I figured id ask because I dont want to call and wait on hold for no reason.

    Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure you can. They'd want to make more money too. :p

    LOL, I don't think Dell is making any money selling a mini at $99.

    True but I can threaten to cancel my order...and if they tell me 'well you cant cancel when its in production' then I can just tell them to set me up with an RMA so when it gets to my house I can gladly send it back.

    hah. I guess we'll see tomorrow morning. Pfft they should be open 24/7!!! :mad:

    They'll most likely allow it. These companies tend to be very accommodating to customers within the return period.

    Well, I wouldn't know about that. I've had a lot of trouble with Dell over the last couple of days about my M15x order.
